Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany (thigh) has been ruled out of tomorrow's Barclays Premier League trip to West Ham.
The Belgium defender is making good progress but will not be risked while fellow centre-back Martin Demichelis (knee), who is still to make his debut, is also not yet fit.
Midfielder Jack Rodwell (hamstring) is back in contention after a recent spell on the sidelines.
Provisional squad: Hart, Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Richards, Lescott, Nastasic, Boyata, Kolarov, Clichy, Nasri, Silva, Milner, Navas, Toure, Fernandinho, Garcia, Rodwell, Aguero, Negredo, Dzeko, Jovetic.
